Hi there, and thanks for checking out my latest map.
I have decided not to post the full story here, simply because it's so long, it can instead be found in the .zip-file, where you can also find the hints and my own personal notes on the map.
Thanks to all who helped me playtest this map, and happy gaming.
hey jasper i download it again to read the story and the other word ducoments and play the final map but i just got the map can you please mail me the rest of this file

I managed to take over the castle after many tries. If you attack parts of the castle in a certain sequence, it makes your task much easier. I will not tell the sequence I used till everyone has had a chance to play this well done map. Will rate and reveal my full solution when I finish it.

I had a great time playing your map Jasper. You have to react fix and time your moves well, than you can siege the castle with out so many loses. I played arround with the placing of my siegetower ( I played on hard but I saved and reloaded a lot as I always do). As I said in my review of Devils Pass, I wont put in my sollution here either because everyone should find his own ways, but I will maybe post it later. But I really loved this map and played it after my first win again and again so it’s a five here.
Balance: 5
The map is really well balance, the number of troops both for the wolf and for you cant be much better balanced and the invasions and events are nice too. I just would the first invasion come a bit later, so you can get your economy better runnning but that makes the map a real challenge =)
Creativity: 5
Well the map is a map were you just have to kill all units in the map to cede the castle and than survive all invasions but the map is so nice and I cannot find annything to complain and well the castle looks creative too =) you know what it is ….. a five =)
Map Design: 5
You have improved your map design very much. I can see it when I looked in your first maps and in you not so far away maps ( I liked the design from the first part of your campaign very much and I do not agree what you wrote that the design of your maps before is much better =). I really liked the castle design ( the walls) and the way the castle looks like. The ruins fit in the map very well and I really liked the rivers so here stands the five.
Story/Instructions: 5
The story is very long with many background. It isnt based on an historical event but I really liked it and it is very long. It is well written without grammatical errors
( so far as I can tell =P ) - as before a five.
Additional Comments:
A great map by jasper tudor who is going to be one of the best designers of stronghold heaven:
I really look forward to the new campaign ( any ideas about chapter 2 so far jasper ?)
Good luck with your next projects

Wow...and, well...wow?
I knew this map was good (or at least my best this far), as I put a lot of time and effort down on it, and updated it according to the comments by the playtesters (the 1st invasion comes in about 6 months later than in the playtest version etc. etc.), but I really never expected to get a full 5.0...Thanks, Nero, that really means a lot to me =D
